This Healthy Cherry Almond Broccoli Salad Is a Must Try

Broccoli, cherries, almonds, avocado and bacon (thrown in for good measure, not the antioxidants, obviously) come together to make an incredibly tasty salad with wonderful flavor and texture.

Cherries are so delicious right now. We totally recommend adding them to any meal you decide to whip up. Yes, our normal summer cherry addiction is in full swing. Just be sure you have a great cherry pitter. We got pretty lucky when we started making this healthy cherry almond broccoli salad.

From the plump juicy cherries and crisp bacon to the crunchy almonds and broccoli florets, this is one of the best salads we’ve ever had. The dressing is even made “skinny” by swapping out mayo with avocado. You get a lovely creaminess that melds so well with all of the other ingredients. You’d never guess this deliciousness is so super healthy!

INSTRUCTIONS

In a large bowl, combine the bacon, broccoli, cherries, onion and almonds. Gradually stir in all of the avocado dressing. Enjoy! Makes great leftovers and will last a couple of days in the fridge covered or in a large baggie.
